Used auto pay for years to donate. Lost my job and wanted to cancel my donation. This organization refused. REFUSED! Told me to contact the credit card company. Had to cancel my card. Sent email regarding this to HS CC and received no reply. This charity charged another month to my new card and it too had to be canceled. Do not donate through auto pay to this organization.

The people of Carroll county pay for an emergency drop off room that is not accessible.why is there an emergency drop off room when it's locked?there is a sign saying"any animals removed from this room is a prosecuted offense.why have it then?you want to be paid for a job your not doing.you shouldn't have to make an appointment.if all your going to do is put them down then why not just say that?humane is who defines it,there's nothing humane about false information.this institution needs to do better

Went there to put my dog of 12 years down and wasnt told until arrival that I wasnt able to come in to be with my dog, the worker who put him down was a cold shrew of a woman who showed 0 empathy and just made everything worse for our family. Isnt it supposed to be a HUMANE society?

Cece Dolan | Sep 15, 2021
Heather Cindric | Sep 15, 2021

I know there are foster parent organizations for rabbits but I don't know if this humane society does that. You should call them and ask. I picked up my foster dog there, but I worked through a rescue group Tara's House. The human society contacted Tara's and then Tara's told me that Pablo needed a foster home.
